Zen Garden Restaurant

Plenty of people know about The Zen Garden, the tasteful little Thai food oasis at Careys Manor in Brockenhurst. It is also the home to the gorgeous Le Blaireau, their exuberant French brasserie, serving the very best Gallic dishes with enthusiasm in an authentic setting. Still at Careys, make time to pop into the newly refurbished Cambium Restaurant where the traditional dishes are interpreted with simplicity and flavour, and they also serve one of the biggest collections of English wine in the country.

Enjoy afternoon tea in The Lounge or al fresco on one of the terraces during warmer months. Afternoon tea at Rhinefield House is perfectly accompanied with a stroll around the beautiful garden featuring ornamental ponds, fountains and terraces. Add to the country mansion’s exquisite surroundings, its distinguished reputation, impeccable service, delicious handmade food and Taylors of Harrogate tea strained to your own taste, afternoon tea at Rhinefield House makes for a memorable occasion.

The imaginative menus created by our Thai Chefs at the Zen Garden restaurant offer a fresh infusion of exotic flavours that create exquisite Thai cuisine. From dishes inspired by street food favourites to recipes enjoyed in the royal palaces in Thailand, authenticity is firmly on the menu here. The traditional Thai decor creates a tranquil and relaxed dining atmosphere for you to unwind in after a day exploring the forest or relaxing at the spa .

Zen Garden Restaurant is one of three restaurants at Careys Manor Hotel on the edge of Brockenhurst in the New Forest. Dining here is quite an exquisite experience and the food is heavenly; authentic Thai dishes cooked by well-polished Thai chefs, using local and organic ingredients as much as possible. Oh, you’ll get those delicate flavours and sensational aromas that Thai food is known for, and it just looks such a delight.

Traditional dishes capturing the nature of the New Forest are what’s on offer at Careys Manor Hotel and SenSpa’s main restaurant, Cambium or sample the exotic Thai flavours in the hotel’s Zen Garden Restaurant. They are also home to Le Blaireau, a gorgeous brasserie, offering high-quality authentic French cuisine. There are plenty of options for dining at this luxurious spa hotel.

There’s also a choice of three fantastic restaurants: modern-British cuisine with a New Forest twist at the Cambium restaurant, Le Blaireau (above) bringing the food and flavour of France with all the character of a Parisian Brasserie and the Zen Garden, with its authentic Thai flavours and opulent decor featuring bamboo and exotic fauna.

Le Blaireau is the hotel’s traditional French brasserie-style restaurant, and the Zen Garden is connected to the spa. When in the spa restaurant, forget all other UK Thai restaurant experiences and approach this as an entirely new one. They serve some of the finest authentic and healthy Thai food.

The Zen Garden is top quality Thai Cuisine using fresh ingredients to create authentic and fresh Thai flavours. I love Thai cuisine for the lemongrass and the lightly spices tangy flavours.
